This looks to be yet another absorbing run-in at swissporarena in the Super League. Luzern is in 5th place and receive Lugano in 2nd position. Read about the fixture here!
Lugano could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Europa League game only three sleeps ago.
Luzern form and stats
Only two Super League home games for Luzern so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
A good away victory last time out for Luzern, who won 1-0 against Grasshopper (placed 9th). Manager Frick felt very clever after Chader scored the winning goal against Grasshopper, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 46th minute. Beka, defender, was given a rating of 8.8/10 in that game, top of the team. Beka won 6 of 8 duels.
Before that, a strong away victory at Winkeln St. Gallen. A Swiss Cup game. This is expected to be a close game, with Luzern perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Luzern as a small favourite), we find 12 games. Luzern has won 4 of these, drawn 4 and lost 4.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Luzern at home in the league. 3 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Lugano form and stats
Lugano are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Super League, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Europa League home loss versus Union Saint-Gilloise with 0-1 on the scoreboard.
A loss, in the Europa League away at Union Saint-Gilloise, before that. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lugano playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 5 Lugano wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.
Lugano have the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
